I would like to think that I was just making a good impression. Na ang piniling kabiyak ni Baabaa ay nakatungtong ng State University kahit paano. But it was not the case. Sadyang gusto lang namin lumabas kasama si Maginoong Bulakenyo at Diliman ang napili namin puntahan.

Our first fight took place because of a tweet that became a subject of dubious interpretations. Malay ko bang lyrics ng kanta yun at hindi patama tungkol sa mga regret niya sa nakaraan. Wounding words were hurled and for two hours ay dedma kami sa isa't isa.

Eventually, the partner reached out, apologized and I did the same. But to seal the peace treaty, I went all the way from Eclipse Shaw to Eclipse Mabini para manundo ng nagbo-body building rin. Doon ko na realize na we can't stand each other na magkatampuhan ng matagal.

And from that moment ay nag-full circle ang pagiging mag-acquaintance namin. He caught my attention in a body-building thread and in return, we worked out together when time allowed.

Greenbelt 3 Cinema

I seldom watch movies in theaters. Unless I get invited. The partner loves the big screen even if it means going solo. At dahil mahal ko siya, nagsimula ulit akong manood ng films no matter what the genres are. This is how we date.

The first film we saw was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Hindi ko alam kung sa Greenbelt 3 namin pinanood yun or somewhere else. But Greenbelt is the nearest cinema to my partner's workplace. For that, the mall became our hang-out place.

From Burlesque to Scream 4, to Black Swan and Source Code, lahat yun kasama ko siyang pinanood. Pati yung Rosario at saka In the Name of Love na dati-rati ay hindi ko napapansin ay pinatulan ko na rin. The tidal shift was so strong that when JC left for Canada, I never stepped foot inside the cinemas again.
